Seriously, what Israel is doing today is no different from what the Nazis did before and at the beginning of World War II, extreme nationalism, illegal expansion, annexation of foreign territory claiming it historically belongs to them, propaganda using the latest technology, terrorizing neighbors, military at the center of society.

    If you want to count official Hamas members as military opponents, civilian casualties in Gaza dwarf the ones of WWII in ratio.

    Also, while I am not so knowledgeable about the Zionist mythos, I know that other territories and populations, which Israel already attacked repeatedly, are meant to be subjugated in the larger plan.

    I guess we can all agree that getting to see how far they can resemble the nazis is not an itch we should scratch.

      If you want to call Gaza an open air concentration camp, you can’t really use it for war casualties. If you compare Israeli operations in Syria or Iran with anything the Nazis did, they look pretty good again.

      There’s plenty of less extreme analogies to use. Rwanda would be more defensible.

      I know that other territories and populations, which Israel already attacked repeatedly, are meant to be subjugated in the larger plan.

      Religious Zionists want control of all historical Hebrew areas. What they think that is varies wildly within the movement. Subjugation of the entire Middle East or whole Muslim world is where things are going if Israel is never stopped, but nobody’s claiming a right to it at this point. Jordan or Sinai are more the ones you hear about as external ambitions.
